The Final Board: 2026 NFL Mock Draft!

The 2026 NFL Draft begins tonight at 8 PM. Teams in the top 10 face franchise-altering decisions. This final mock draft cuts through the speculation to lock in the projected first-round picks.

The Las Vegas Raiders secure the top overall spot by selecting Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza to stabilize their offense. Later in the round, the Cleveland Browns secure a potential succession plan by taking Alabama’s Ty Simpson at pick 24.

Defensive and offensive linemen dominate the top of the board. The New York Jets add elite length with Ohio State edge rusher Arvell Reese at pick two. The Arizona Cardinals immediately follow with Texas Tech’s explosive David Bailey at pick three. The New York Giants lock in a foundational bookend by taking Miami offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa at pick five.

Explosive playmakers fill the remaining gaps to round out the offensive side of the ball. The Tennessee Titans return to a dominant run game with Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. Teams like the Cleveland Browns (Carnell Tate) and Baltimore Ravens (Jordyn Tyson) secure elite receiving targets with the speed and size to stretch the field.
